SCHOMBURG, ARTHUR A. Racial Integrity, a Pleas for the Establishment of a Chair of Negro History in our Schools and Colleges etc. 19 pages. 8vo, original printed stiff paper wrappers present but chipped and detached. [New York]: August Valentine, 1913
first edition of the Negro Society's Occasional Paper, No. 3. Arthur A. Schomburg (1874-1938) is probably best known as the curator of the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library, which was named for him after he died in 1938. After being informed that the African had no history, Schomburg set about collecting everything he could find to prove the opposite. His collection, which he donated to the Harlem branch of the New York Public Library, formed the nucleus of the branch's collection.
